Brother we all want this set bad but look at sites like Matty when they put dcuc figs up. The site is slow and by the time u add the item to the cart everything is sold out and there are 30 figs on eBay for double the price. I think giving us the date will just allow more scalpers to get their hands on these. If we want them then we gonna have to work for them. My iPhone will b glued to my hand so I can b on the boards when it goes up. Those Matty sub figures are produced in much lower numbers. They've always had problems with their site and have said for years they were "working on fixing it," with no real change. I'm sure a ton of people were on RSC for their black friday sale, which had the date and time announced and I'm pretty sure it didn't crash then. I think they can handle Elite 19. RSC's first wave preorders are less than that. Liz might be in every other case so RSC is basically taking apart 2 cases to fill in for one set. Face it, the first wave preorder will sell out in minutes. |

I remember when preorders for E11 Punk went up that day of SDCC the RS site was so slow and laggy. I must have waited 40 min to place an order and was lucky to get him and miz. RS is a smaller site than matty and can't handle that much traffic. It was miserable. I wanna order the set but if I get my hands on 2 Hbks I can wait for the rest. |

As I said, and this MIGHT sound a little whiny, I hope it doesn't but whaddayagonnado...
It certainly doesn't benefit those working a 9-5 (or 2-8 in my case) or going to school, as from looking at times and dates of previous preorder announcements they go up between 2-5 something, but if you have a smartphone, it certainly helps... I wish they went up in the evenings as well, but I assume that the folks at RSC work a similar 9-5 work schedule, and things like Toyfair, SDCC, and Black Friday might be special occasions. As I said, if you have a smart phone, just keep the browsers open and just frequently and non-chalantly refresh and check your phone. And order what you need, and don't be unscrupulous (that last bit of advice, there's nothing WE can do about)

C.O.T. = Check On Tuesday You guys think? Or are pre orders usually up the Monday following Ringside Fest?

I wish they did have a limit per one. I never got any Elite 13 at my stores. They all have a wall of Cena's and Morrison's that are never going away.

Basic 25 complete set sold out in 20 minutes. Elite 16 sold out in 15 minutes. E17 & E18 were put up after SDCC on a Saturday and I believe 17 sold out within an hour, but I'm not exactly sure because it was put up with 4 or 5 other sets.. I've already resigned myself to the fact that I'm getting it on back order, like E16. It's a very humbling feeling but hey, sh*t happens

Remember we all expected it to go up during SDCC....but they put it up 9 days before. Which was odd. Elite 18 went up on a thursday (july 12). After the first day of SDCC C.O.T does not mean coming on tuesday. Nor do I expect to see stories about who got elite 19 pre-orders in the next couple days |

I work my ass off and still rarely buy figures.
How can most of you afford to buy full sets? Do you have no bills? Do you all live with your parents? Whats up here? I make decent money but i pay my own rent and bills and still only manage to get a few figures here and there. Mainly on my birthday and Christmas.
So please tell me what is it you all do that you can afford to buy a full set sometimes 2 full sets.

So please tell me what is it you all do that you can afford to buy a full set sometimes 2 full sets. Simple, I work a decent job, work hard, and budget my money well, I pay my bills and still have enough money for frivilousities. It CAN be done. |

I just remember a sh*t load of stuff going up SDCC Saturday night (which I may be confusing with 2011), my mind is very mushy and forgets things completely, and mashes together similar events. So my apology if I was wrong. |
